[[Game Show]] produced by Don Lipp and Ron Greenberg for [[ABC]] from 1974–751974-75 and hosted by Jim Peck, in which three contestants answered questions to achieve a "Payoff Point" for a cash award ($25, $50, $75, $100, or $500).
 
The contestant in control after a one-point tossup chose one of six categories for a tossup question worth that many points. The main strategy was that the Payoff Point had to be met ''exactly'', and any contestant whose score would cause them to exceed it with the chosen question could not participate in it. Following the second Payoff Point, six new categories were introduced. This round ended with a 90-second [[Speed Round]], during which every Payoff Point following the current one was worth $100; once time expired, the contestant in third place was eliminated.
